It seems to me that the Coast Guard is a logical place. First off, the Coast Guard has boats, so they can get on the water. Transport Canada, in a lot of cases, doesn't have boats. Certainly, out here, our experience is that it doesn't have access to boats. The Coast Guard has the ability to get on the water, and they're more local; they're regional. Prior to 2004, my understanding is that the system worked quite well. The Coast Guard seems logical to us, because, again, it's within DFO, so there's more of a direct relationship and it just seems like a logical body for us.
I suppose it could be done by Transport Canada. It would have to be resourced much better than it was, and it would also have to enforce, which it hasn't. It would need clarification around what abandoned boats are, and we'd need a clearer definition around abandoned and derelict, as well.
It could be done by Transport Canada, but I think it's cleaner to have it sit with the Coast Guard.
